Prior reviewers have made very good points, so my view of the film isn't needed, but I do wish to echo admiration for the cast, tight production, fine musical score, sharp dialogue. Particularly pleasing is the wind-up scene at the end, where the legendary Seymour Hicks (please see his bio!!) gently insinuates a satisfactory way to deal with the events fallout (I don't want to give away the ending). Hicks keeps his head, thinking ahead. when the others are understandably off balance, and gives them an out. This was Hicks' last film.
Interesting to note that a couple of years after this film was made, Nigel Patrick married his stepmother in this script, Beatrice Campbell. Another fun fact is that Patrick was born in 1912, the same year Stephen Murray (who plays his father here) was born, but Murray acquires white hair for the movie, and the superb acting carries it all off.
Quiet, steady character development, but no dull spots as this story unfolds well-paced, and gains tension. Well done.
